Hi Matthew

We have had quite a bit of argument regarding automatic POST redirects a
while ago

http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-httpclient-dev%40jakarta.apache.org/msg01116.html

If you disagree with the conclusion we arrived at, feel free to file a
bug report. We would not mind providing this option in the future. I
just personally think it's unreasonable, but, again, there are ways of
seeing and not seeing

Cheers

Oleg
